Abstract:
An alarm application is described. A user interface of the alarm application may be presented that includes a generic alarm option and a sleep alarm option. A first view of the user interface may be presented that includes generic alarm related options when the generic alarm option is selected. A second view of the user interface may be presented that includes sleep alarm related options when the sleep alarm option is selected.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for efficiently communicating mapping application data between electronic devices. In one example, a first electronic device can act as a proxy between a second electronic device and a map server by receiving a first request for map data from the second user device, determining a set of supplemental data to add to the first request to generate a complete second request for map data, and transmitting the second request to a map server. The first electronic device can receive the requested map data from the map server and transmit the received map data to the second electronic device. In another example, the first electronic device can act as a navigation server for the second electronic device by initially transmitting a full set of route data to the second electronic device and subsequently transmitting route update messages to the second electronic device.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for selecting location data provided by communicatively coupled electronic devices. In one example process, a first electronic device can select one of a first location determined by the first electronic device and a second location determined by a second electronic device for use as the location of the first electronic device. The selection can be made based on one or more of the times the first and second locations were determined, accuracies of the first and second location determinations, whether or not the first and second locations intersect, priorities associated with source used to determine the first and second locations, and previous location determinations made by the first electronic device. The selected location can be used as the location of the first electronic device to execute an application on the first electronic device.
Abstract:
This application relates to a first computing device that stores a first set of data that is associated with an event can be configured to implement a method for resolving inconsistencies in synchronized data among multiple computing devices by carrying out the techniques described herein. In particular, the method can include the steps of (1) receiving, from a second computing device, a second set of data that is associated with the event, (2) in response to receiving a request to present data associated with the event: determining a presence of at least one inconsistency between respective corresponding data of the first and second sets of data, (3) applying rules to the at least one inconsistency to form resolved data, and (4) presenting the data associated with the event, where the data includes at least the resolved data.
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a mapping application that, at first and second instances in time, determines corresponding first and second positions of a virtual camera in the 3D map. The virtual camera identifies a particular position in the 3D from which to render a view of the 3D map and includes several reference points. The mapping application also identifies first and second groups of locations of the reference points at the first and second positions of the virtual camera. The mapping application further determines several paths in the 3D map based on the first and second groups of the locations of the references points. The mapping application also moves the virtual camera along the several paths by maintaining the virtual camera's several reference points on the corresponding several paths in the 3D map while rendering views of the 3D map in order to provide an animated view of the 3D map.

Abstract:
An adjustable alarm indicator of an alarm application is described. The adjustable alarm indicator may be presented in connection with an alarm setting sequence. The adjustable alarm indicator may include a variable element having a variable annular shape, a first element associated with a first end of the variable element, and a second element associated with a second end of the variable element. The first element may be independently moveable to adjust the size of the variable element. The second element may be dependently moveable to cause the first element, the second element, and the variable element to move.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for providing vector map data for generating a view of a map in a mapping application. In one example process, a request for a vector map sub-tile can be received by a map server. The map server can identify a pre-generated vector map tile corresponding to the requested vector map sub-tile and can generate the requested vector map sub-tile from the identified vector map tile by dividing the vector map tile into two or more vector map sub-tiles. In some examples, dividing the vector map tile into multiple vector map sub-tiles can include identifying features and attributes of the vector map tile that should be included in the requested vector map sub-tile and generating the requested vector map sub-tile to include these features and attributes. The map server can then transmit the requested vector map sub-tile to the requesting electronic device.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for interacting with mapping applications. In one example, a virtual assistant server can efficiently communicate with a map server to provide a user with map data in response to spoken user requests received at a user device. In another example, communicatively coupled electronic devices can be synchronized such that a location marker generated on one device can be displayed on the other device. In another example, an electronic device can display simplified views of individual route directions that can be updated based on movement of the user or in response to user requests. In another example, an electronic device can selectively display an interface including a current location of a user or an interface including a route to a predicted destination based on contextual information associated with the user. The interfaces can include affordances for launching an associated mapping application.
